Photon

An extension (subclass) to Wave adding an energy property.

I don't really want to start modelling components of the universe, so perhaps this could be given a different name. Rather like Wave I just want a 'placeholder' that people can use as they see fit (ie, wavelength, frequency or energy). A different name (Jon's DataModelFravergy ?) might be more appropriate. - MCH

Interface

  • Wave properties
  • Energy : in eV ?

Implementation

A trivial extra method getEnergy() that does the appropriate multiplication from the wavelength/frequency of the Wave superclass.
